Great Silence

    Day 1

    “I WAS NOT CHEATING ON YOU, DAMNIT!!!” Takeru yelled. “I DON’T BELIEVE YOU!!!” Aneko screamed back. The couple was in a high-tension fight. Eight or nine other students were watching closely. This was the first time Aneko and Takeru fought. So this was a show to be watched.

    “I don’t want to hear anymore from you! Leave me alone!!!” Aneko yelled. “But…” Takeru said. “SHUT UP ASSHOLE!!!” the princess yelled. Then she stomped off immediately. Takeru was left there, standing still.

   Day2

    Aneko lay in her room. She was still hurt and sad from yesterday. She felt betrayed. But yet…. Naze did she feel so bad? Naze did she feel like the criminal here and not the other way around? She was the victim. Or was she?

    Then, a knock came on her door. “Come in mom!” Aneko said sadly. The door opened and Megan stepped into the room gracefully. Usually, her appearance took her daughter’s breath away. But today didn’t cut it.

    Megan could sense her daughter’s pain. “Gracie,” she said. “Nani’s wrong?” “It’s Takeru!” Aneko yelled. “What about him?” Megan asked. Aneko told the whole story.
“Are you sure he cheated on you?” Megan asked at last. “Iie,” Aneko answered. “I just cut him off and walked away. I was angry.” Megan gave off a sweet smile. “Maybe you should get the facts first, then judge.” she said. Then the empress walked off. Aneko sat still on the bed.

Day 3

    Gloom was looming overhead. Especially for Aneko. “Naze?” she thought. “Naze am I like this?” Her mind wandered. Takeru entered it. Oh! Sweet Takeru! How she loved him! How she missed him! But… He did her wrong! Or did he?

    Day 4

    Aneko walked to the phone. She had to do this! The princess picked up the phone. Aneko quickly dialed Takeru’s number. The phone rang on the other end. Aneko held her breath and waited. The phone rang on.

    Finally, all that answered was the answering machine. “Moshi-Moshi, Takashi residence. We are unavailable right now. Doze leave a message. *Beep*” it said. Aneko drew in a deep breath. “Takeru,” she said. “We need to talk.” Then she hung up the phone.

    Day 5

    Aneko walked to school. She felt alone. The princess wished her boyfriend were by her side. Ah! Sweet Takeru! There it was again! That awful feeling of loneliness. It wouldn’t go away. “Takeru!” she thought. “I need you!”

    As if the day couldn’t get any worse, it did. There was good old Takeru with…. another girl! They seemed so happy. The girl was lovely herself. Her red hair burned with beauty. Boy! She was a sight! Unable to take anymore, Aneko ran away in heartbreak.

    The princess cried in the girls’ bathroom. She had lost Takeru. The love of her life was gone.

    Iie! She hadn’t lost yet! Aneko just had to fight her way back to his heart! She just had to. Just for love!

    Day 6

    “Takeru,” Aneko said. “We need to talk.” The boy looked up. “All right,” he said. “Nani is it?” Aneko drew in a deep breath. “Be honest with me,” she said. “Are you cheating on me?” With a straight face her love said: “Iie.” The princess was confused. “Then why were you with that girl I saw?” she asked. Takeru smiled. “She was a fan of mine. She wanted my autograph. We talked and talked. She asked me out but I turned her down.” he explained. Aneko’s tension died away. She had been wrong all along. The princess hugged her love tight.

    From them on, Aneko never accused Takeru of cheating on her ever again.

The End
